Faded Brown Eyes

(albüm: American Faces - 1987)

Her eyes were brown like acorns in the snow
But they could shine like heaven's brightest star
As I followed every restless wind that blows
She'd say, baby, I love you as you are
She picked up my pieces time and time again
Her brown eyes never showed a trace of blue

Faded brown eyes crying so blue
Faded brown eyes from all they been through
The light of love slowly died as she lost faith in me
Faded brown eyes, faded dreams

I used to make her laugh until she cried
She dreamed my dreams as if they were her own
I never saw the goodbye in her eyes
Until her will to give was all but gone
Some may wonder why she went away
And I'm the only one to really know

I can still see her faded brown eyes crying so blue
Faded brown eyes from all they been through
The light of love slowly died as she lost faith in me
Faded brown eyes, faded dreams

The light of love slowly died as she lost faith in me
Faded brown eyes, faded dreams
